THE  SECOND  SCHOOL  SOCIETY  of   Granby    came  into 
existence   by   virtue   of   an    act   passed   by    the    General 
Assembly  of  Connecticut  at  its  May  session  in   1795,  the 
essential  paragraphs  of  which  were  as  follows: 

An  Act  appropriating  the  Monies  which  shall  arise  on  the  sale 
of  the  Western  Lands,  belonging  to  this  State. 

Be  it  enacted  by  the  Governor  and  Council,  and  House  of 
Representatives,  in  General  Court  assembled,  That  the  principal 
sum,  which  shall  be  received  on  the  sale  of  the  lands  belonging  to 
this  State,  lying  west  of  Pennsylvania,  shall  be,  and  remain  a 
perpetual  fund,  for  the  purposes  hereafter  mentioned  in  this  Act, 
to  be  loaned,  or  otherwise  improved  for  those  purposes  as  the 
General  Assembly  shall  direct;  and  the  interest  arising  therefrom, 
shall  be,  and  hereby  is  appropriated  to  the  support  of  Schools  in 
the  several  Societies  constituted,  or  which  may  be  constituted  by 
law,  within  certain  local  bounds  within  this  State,  to  be  kept  ac- 
cording to  the  provisions  of  law,  which  shall  from  time  to  time 
be  made,  and  to  no  other  use  or  purpose  whatsoever,  except  in  the 
case,  and  under  the  circumstances  hereafter  mentioned  in  this  Act. 

Be  it  further  enacted.  That  the  said  interest  as  it  shall  become 
due  from  time  to  time,  shall  be  paid  over  to  the  said  Societies,  in 
their  capacity  of  School  Societies,  according  to  the  list  of  polls 
and  rateable  Estate  of  such  Societies  respectively;  which  shall, 
when  such  payment  shall  be  made,  have  been  last  perfected. 

Be  it  further  enacted.  That  all  the  inhabitants  living  within 
the  limits  of  the  located  Societies,  who  by  law  have  or  may  have 
a  right  to  vote  in  Town  meetings,  shall  meet  sometime  in  the 
month  of  October  annually,  in  the  way  and  manner  prescribed  in 
the  statute,  entitled  "An  Act  for  forming,  ordering,  and  regulat- 
ing Societies,"  and  being  so  met  shall  exercise  the  powers  given 
in  and  by  said  Act,  in  organizing  themselves,  and  in  appointing 
the  necessary  officers,  as  therein  directed  for  the  year  ensuing; 
and  may  transact  any  other  business  on  the  subject  of  schooling 
in  general,  and  touching  the  monies  hereby  appropriated  to  their 
use,  in  particular,  according  to  law;  and  shall  have  power  to  ad- 
journ from  time  to  time  as  they  shall  think  proper. 


Be  it  further  enacted,  That  the  iuhabitants  or  members  of  the 
several  rehgious  Societies,  Churches  or  Congregations  aforesaid, 
who  have  right  by  law  to  vote  in  their  respective  meetings,  on 
the  subject  of  ministry,  and  the  public  worship  of  God,  shall 
assemble  themselves  sometime  in  the  month  of  December  annu- 
ally, or  at  such  other  time  as  they  shall  judge  convenient,  and 
may  organize  themselves,  and  appoint  the  necessary  officers  as  in 
said  act  is  directed,  all  in  the  way  and  manner  therein  prescribed, 
with  power  to  adjourn  from  time  to  time  as  they  may  think 
proper;  and  in  any  of  their  said  meetings  they  shall  have  power 
to  transact  any  business  relating  to  the  ministry  and  the  public 
worship  of  God,  according  to  law;  but  shall  have  no  power  to  act 
on  the  subject  of  schooling;  any  law,  usage,  or  custom,  to  the 
contrarj'  notwithstanding. 

After  sixty  years,  the  existence  of  the  society  ceased  by  an  act 
approved  July  i,  1856,  "Providing  for  the  transfer  to  Towns  of 
the  Duties  and  Powers  of  School  Societies  with  regard  to  Schools. ' ' 

The  bounds  of  the  Second  School  Society  in  Granby  coincided 
with  the  bounds  of  the  Turkey  Plills  Ecclesiastical  Society  or 
Parish.  This  parish  was  situated  in  the  east  part  of  the  town  of 
Granby,  except  a  strip  one-half  mile  in  width  on  the  east  side 
which  lay  in  the  town  of  Windsor.  In  1854  the  north  part  of 
Windsor,  taking  in  the  part  included  in  the  Second  School  Soci- 
ety of  Granby,  was  incorporated  as  the  town  of  Windsor  I^ocks. 
Granby  had  been  incorporated  from  Simsbury  in  1786.  On  June 
2,  1858,  the  town  of  East  Granby  was  incorporated  from  portions 
of  Granby  and  Windsor  Locks  with  practically  the  same  bound- 
aries as  those  of  the  former  Second  School  Society  of  Granby. 
During  the  two  years,  1856-1858,  between  the  abolishing  of  the 
school  society  and  the  incorporation  of  the  town  of  East  Granby 
the  school  affairs  of  the  parish  had  been  managed  by  the  town  of 
Granby. 

Previous  to  the  passage  of  the  act  of  1795  all  matters  relating 
to  public  schools  in  Turkey  Hills  parish  had  been  managed  by 
the  parish.     In  1739,  two  years  after  the  parish  was  organized. 


a  school  committee  was  first  chosen,  and  from  this  time  it  is  prob- 
able that  a  school  or  schools  were  regularly  maintained  in  the 
parish,  as  a  school  committee  was  annually  chosen. 

At  the  time  these  records  begin  the  society  was  divided  into 
sev^en  school  districts,  known  from  their  locations  as  the  half  mile, 
the  middle,  north,  and  south,  east  of  the  mountain,  and  the  mid- 
dle, north,  and  south,  west  of  the  mountain.  Later  the  half  mile 
district  was  abolished  and  the  others  were  designated  by  number 
in  the  order  above  given. 

In  1 741  a  committee  was  chosen  by  the  Turkey  Hills  parish  to 
meet  with  the  school  committees  of  the  other  societies  "  to  devid 
the  Scool  money  in  y^'  Town  of  Simsbury,"  and  from  this  time  a 
tax  for  the  support  of  schools  was  voted  with  more  or  less  regu- 
larity at  the  annual  parish  meetings. 

The  first  dividend  received  by  the  school  societies  for  the  sup- 
port of  schools  under  the  act  of  1795  from  the  income  of  the  fund 
derived  from  the  sale  of  western  lands,  better  known  as  the  "school 
fund,"  was  in  March,  1799.  From  this  time  to  and  including 
18 1 9  the  income  was  annually  divided  according  to  the  grand  lists 
of  the  school  societies.  No  enumeration  of  school  children  was 
made  or  required  during  these  years.  But  this  system  of  dividing 
the  school  money  was  manifestly  unfair,  and  beginning  in  1820 
the  division  was  made  upon  a  basis  of  the  number  of  children 
between  the  ages  of  four  and  sixteen  years  enumerated  in  each 
school  society.  The  number  of  children  in  the  Second  School 
Society  of  Granby  and  the  amount  received  each  year  so  far  as 
these  can  be  ascertained  are  given  in  the  following  table:

In  the  return  for  1825  there  was  an  omission  of  forty-seven 
children  and  a  special  grant  was  made  by  the  General  Assembly 
to  cover  the  omission.  Children  were  frequently  enumerated  both 
in  the  district  where  their  parents  resided  and  in  the  district  where 
they  (the  children)  were  temporarily  residing.  A  circular  sent 
out  in  1833  requesting  that  children  be  enumerated  only  in  the 
district  where  their  parents  resided  caused  a  falling  off  in  the  re- 
turns. The  enumeration  was  made  in  August  and  the  school 
money  paid  in  two  installments  the  October  and  March  follow- 
ing; but  in  1852  the  law  was  changed  so  as  to  make  the  enumera- 
tion in  January,  so  that  no  returns  appear  for  that  year.  The 
returns  given  for  1857  ^^^^  ^o^  ^^e  whole  town  of  Granby. 

The  following  is  taken  from  the  report  of  the  Commissioner 
of  Common  Schools  for  1839:

Another  source  of  income  available  for  the  support  of  schools  is 
the  income  of  what  is  known  as  the  "  town  deposit  fund."  This 
fund  is  a  sum  of  money  deposited  by  the  United  States,  under  an 
act  of  Congress  approved  June  23,  1836,  with  the  treasurers  of 
the  several  states  and  subject  to  recall.  Connecticut  passed  an 
act  depositing  the  money  with  the  several  towns  in  proportion 
to  their  population  and  upon  the  same  conditions  that  it  had 
been  received  from  the  United  States.  Some  towns  neglected  to 
withdraw  their  proportion  of  the  money  but  allowed  it  to  remain 
with  the  state  treasurer  and  annually  received  the  income  accru- 
ing upon  it.  Such  was  the  policy  pursued  by  the  town  of  Granby 
whose  fund  was  $7,019.26.  When  the  town  of  East  Granby  was 
incorporated  the  town  deposit  fund  money  was  divided  according 
to  the  population  and  the  new  town's  proportion  was  fixed  at 
$2,083.84.  This  was  allowed  to  remain  with  the  state  treasurer 
until  1892,  when  it  was  withdrawn  and  loaned  to  the  town  upon 
a  note  bearing  five  per  cent,  interest.     Not  more  than  one-half  of 


lO 

the  income  of  this  fund  might  be  appropriated  for  other  purposes 
than  the  support  of  schools,  but  the  Second  School  Society  of 
Granby  and  the  town  of  East  Granby  always  used  the  whole  in- 
come for  school  purposes. 

The  school-houses  w-ere  built  by  and  at  the  expense  of  the  school 
district  in  which  each  is  situated.  The  early  custom  of  windows 
high  above  the  floor  is  one  that  has  survived  in  the  majority  of 
them  to  the  present  time.  Inside,  a  desk  slightly  inclined  and 
with  a  narrow  level  place  at  the  top  was  attached  to  the  wall  and 
extended  along  three  sides  of  the  room.  In  front  of  this  was  a 
long  form  or  bench  without  back  on  which  the  older  pupils  sat. 
They  were  thus  seated  facing  the  wall  and  with  their  backs  to- 
wards the  teacher.  At  times  these  pupils  were  allowed  to  turn 
about  and  sit  facing  the  middle  of  the  room.  Inside  of  the  bench 
or  form  on  which  the  older  pupils  sat  was  another  lower  one  which 
was  occupied  by  the  smaller  children  who  were  seated  facing  the 
center  of  the  room.  The  children  seated  on  this  bench  had  no 
desks.  In  most,  probably  in  all,  of  the  schoolhouses  in  this  soci- 
ety the  bench  and  desk  for  the  larger  scholars  were  on  a  platform 
raised  two  steps  above  the  floor  of  the  room.  In  such  cases  the 
lower  step  formed  the  bench  or  seat  for  the  smaller  scholars.  This 
gave  them  the  advantage  of  a  back  to  their  bench;  but  this  ar- 
rangement also  had  one  disadvantage  for  them.  When  the  larger 
scholars  sat  facing  the  middle  of  the  room  each  one  was  afforded 
ample  opportunity  to  poke  his  toes  into  the  back  of  the  luckless 
child  seated  just  in  front  of  him. 

The  teacher's  desk,  whose  height  made  it  necessary  for  the 
teacher  to  stand  behind  it  or  to  sit  upon  a  high  stool  or  a  raised 
platform,  w^as  near  the  fourth  side  of  the  room.  Its  hinged  cover 
could  be  locked  down  to  preserve  its  contents  from  inquisitive 
eyes  and  fingers.  The  fire-place  was  also  located  at  this  side  of 
the  room.  The  stove  succeeded  the  fireplace  before  1830,  the 
change  probably  taking  place  during  the  decade  previous.  L,ater, 
within  the  memory  of  some  now  living,  the  long  benches  and 


II 

desks  were  replaced  by  desks  and  benches  suitable  for  two  schol- 
ars and  arranged  in  rows  all  facing  the  teacher's  side  of  the  room. 
The  present  writer  can  certify  to  the  discomfort  of  these  desks 
with  their  accompanying  narrow  seats  and  straight,  perpendicular 
backs. 

There  is  little  to  be  learned  about  the  books  used  or  the  studies 
pursued  previous  to  the  time  covered  by  the  memory  of  aged  per- 
sons now  living.  We  may,  however,  be  certain  that  all  of  the 
scholars  were  well  grounded  in  the  essentials  of  "  the  three  r's." 
reading,  'riting  and  'rithmetic.  The  returns  made  by  the  school 
visitors  of  this  society  for  the  winter  of  1838-9  show  that  the  fol- 
lowing studies  were  taught,  and  show  the  number  of  authors  whose 
books  were  used:  spelling  only  one  author,  reading  eleven  au- 
thors, arithmetic  four  authors,  geography  five  authors,  history 
two  authors,  grammar  one  author,  natural  philosophy  two  au- 
thors, astronomy  and  chemistry,  the  last  two  being  apparently 
taught  without  the  use  of  text-books.  Writing  was  of  course 
also  taught  even  if  it  was  not  dignified  by  being  called  a  study; 
but  no  books  were  used.  The  teacher  or  "master"  was  forced 
to  "set  the  copy"  as  well  as  make  and  mend  the  quill  pens  for 
the  scholars. 

From  an  early  period  the  catechism  had  been  diligently  studied 
in  New  England  schools,  and  the  children  were  usually  called 
upon  to  repeat  it  at  least  once  each  week.  The  custom  probably 
continued  in  Connecticut  until  the  adoption  of  the  state  constitu- 
tion in  18 18.  Previous  to  that  date  in  this  society  the  children 
of  parents  belonging  to  other  religious  denominations  than  the 
congregational,  or  presbyterian  as  it  was  frequently  called,  were 
excused  from  ' '  saying  the  catechism ' '  with  the  other  scholars. 
Repeating  the  catechism  was  kept  up  in  this  society  until  after 
1830,  but  its  study  and  repetition  was  not  then  obligatory  and 
probably  had  not  been  since  18 18.  Saturday  forenoon  was  the 
time  then  usually  taken  for  this  exercise,  and  only  those  who 
chose  to  do  so  took  part  in  it.  That  famous  little  book  the 
New  England  Primer  was  the  one  from  which  the  catechism 
was  studied.

Schools  were  in  session  daily  during  term  time  from  Monday 
morning  until  Saturday  noon,  and  it  was  not  until  about  1850 
that  the  Saturday  forenoon  session  was  discontinued. 

One  committee  which  does  not  appear  on  the  records  was  reg- 
ularly, though  apparently  informally,  chosen  in  school  society 
meetings  until  within  the  memory  of  some  persons  yet  living.  It 
generally  consisted  of  two  persons  of  whom  the  local  doctor  was 
usually  one.  Its  name,  "  Itch  and  L,ouse  Committee,"  sufficiently 
explains  its  duties.  The  members  of  this  committee  visited  the 
schools  at  intervals  and  inspected  the  scholars. 

This  volume  of  records  was  picked  up  in  1889  or  i8go  by  a  well 
known  local  antiquarian  and  book  collector,  now  deceased,  in  the 
Hartford  Trust  Company's  building,  Hartford,  where  it  was  found 
among  the  rubbish  left  in  a  recently  vacated  attorney's  office.  It

In  pursuance  of  the  above  agreement  and  appointment  I  met 
the  Committees  and  agents  of  the  i*^  &  2'^  School  Societies  in  the 
Town  of  Granby  at  the  House  of  Abraham  Holcomb  in  said 
Granby  on  the  19*''  day  of  September  1851  at  10  o'clock  in  the

forenoon  and  heard  the  parties  with  their  evidence,  &  at  the  re- 
quest of  the  Committee  of  said  first  school  society  &  by  consent 
of  both  parties  I  adjourned  the  further  hearing  and  examination 
of  the  same  to  the  Second  day  of  October  185 1  at  9  o'clock  fore- 
noon at  the  same  place  when  I  again  met  both  parties  and  further 
heard  them,  and  by  consent  of  both  parties  I  adjourned  the  further 
hearing  of  the  same  to  the  3''  Day  of  said  October  at  9  o'clock 
forenoon  at  the  same  place  when  &  where  I  again  met  the  parties 
with  their  evidence  Exhibits  and  Counsel,  and  I  further  adjourned 
the  hearing  to  meet  at  the  same  place  on  the  13*''  Day  of  said 
October  at  9  o'clock  forenoon  &  on  said  13^''  Day  of  October  185 1 
after  having  fully  heard  the  parties  with  their  Exhibits  evidence 
and  Counsel  I  did  proceed  to  define  and  establish  the  Boundary 
Line  between  the  i"**  &  2''  school  societies  in  said  Granby  as  fol- 
lows (to  Wit)  Beginning  on  Granby  South  line  at  the  mouth  of 
Salmonbrook — thence  running  up  on  the  West  Bank  of  said  Sal- 
monbrook  to  an  Elm  Tree  standing  on  the  Southwesterly  side  of 
said  Brook — which  Elm  tree  I  marked  with  the  Eetter  X  on  the 
southerly  and  northerly  sides  thereof — which  Elm  tree  stands  at 
the  place  where  I  find  by  the  evidence  the  ancient  path  near 
where  Cap*  Holcomb  formerly  lived  crossed  said  Salmonbrook— 
Said  Elm  tree  stands  above  the  Bridge  over  Salmonbrook  near 
Abraham  Holcombs — &  Northerly  of  the  Noah  Holcomb  House 
so  called, — &  from  said  Elm  tree  I  so  marked  Northerly  in  a  direct 
line  to  the  Center  of  a  large  Rock  on  laud  of  Levy  Viets  on  the 
north  side  of  the  Highway  Leading  from  Salmonbrook  village 
to  East  Granby  Church,  which  Rock  stands  about  three  Rods 
North  of  the  aforesaid  Highway  and  about  twenty  Six  rods 
westerly  of  the  Center  of  the  Rail  road  as  now  graded — From  the 
Center  of  said  Rock  Northerly  in  a  direct  line  to  a  Pile  of  stones 
I  erected  at  a  place  called  Jewett  Hill — which  pile  of  stones  I  so 
erected  for  a  bound  stand  in  the  Crotch  of  the  Road  on  said  Jewett 
hill  at  the  Northeast  Corner  of  Henery  Griffins  Land — from  the 
aforesaid  bound  on  Jewett  hill  North  g}4°  East  to  the  North  line 
of  the  town  of  Granby  and  South  line  of  Suffield — where  I  erected 
a  stake  and  stones  as  bounds — said  stake  is  a  Chestnut  stake 
scarfed  on  four  sides  and  stands  about  4  feet  south  of  a  White  oak 
tree 

The  aforesaid  line  from  the  mouth  of  the  Salmonbrook  on  the 
dividing  line  between  Simsbury  and  Granby  to  the  North  line  of 
the  town  of  Granby  as  above  described  I  hereby  settle  define  and 
Establish  to  be  the  dividing  and  Boundry  Line  between  said  First 
and  Second  School  Societies  in  said  Town  of  Granby
